Daniel Craig looks suave as he channels James Bond at the Pioneer Dinner 2022

Daniel Craig looked like a million bucks as he channelled his alter ego James Bond at the Pioneer Dinner 2022.

The 007 actor dressed to the nines for the event, rocking a cream-coloured blazer with a white button-shirt underneath and a black bowtie.

He teamed it with black trousers and a filtered pair of sunglasses as he posed for the cameras.

Daniel took pictures alongside producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, who were all smiles.

The duo have produced the James Bond movies since 1995, and took to the Beverly Hilton for the Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation's 2022 Pioneer Dinner.

Other stars at the event include Michelle Yeoh, who was in 1997's Tomorrow Never Dies, and Sam Smith, who sang the Spectre theme song.

According to The Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation, the dinner honours "leaders in the motion picture industry whose career achievements and commitment to philanthropy are exemplary."

Earlier this year, the James Bond producers shared their upset in Daniel's lack of award nominations for his last appearance as 007.

Barbara and Michael were stunned after Daniel didn't get a single nod for his performance in No Time To Die.

Michael, 80, told The Times: "You're always happy to get nominated, but Daniel not getting any nods is really amazing to me."

The producers also spoke about their difficult decision to find a new Bond to replace Daniel, who has played the charismatic agent for 16 years.

Barbara, 61, said: "The thing is, when you cast James Bond you're not just casting one movie. You're making a decision that you're going to have live with for at least a decade.'

She added that their job casting Daniel was slightly easier as they had already decided to do the reboot followed by five interconnected films.

But she said this time they will have to cast a new Bond as well as set a theme for the next set of movies.

According to the latest odds from Ladbrokes, Henry Cavill remains a frontrunner as the next Bond while Tom Hardy’s chances continue to diminish.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "Bond chiefs want their next 007 to commit for a decade and punters are seemingly growing convinced that Tom Hardy fits the bill... forcing us to slash the Peaky Blinder star's odds accordingly."
